Celebration of Chinese Dragon Boat Festival

The
Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th month according to the Chinese lunar calendar. It derived from the Warring
States period, over 2,000 years ago.

It
is recorded that the Dragon Boat Festival is originated from the totem fete
celebrated by ancient Wuyue nation in Southern China. But the Dragon Boat Festival
is famous for commemorating Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan. 2,300 years ago, Qu
Yuan was framed by courtiers and be exiled to the remote area, but he insisted
on his political views. When he heard his homeland was invaded and occupied by the
enemy nation, on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, Qu
Yuan wrote down a masterpiece Huai Sha and drowned himself in the Miluo River. People felt heavy grieve for his death,
some rowed along the river to get the body, and others threw glutinous rice with
bamboo leaves and poured the realgar wine, called Zongzi, to protect Qu`s body from
being bitten by aquatic animals.

Since
then, every 5th day of the 5th lunar month is celebrated to
hold dragon boat races, eat Zongzi and drink realgar wine to commemorate
patriotic poet Qu Yuan.
